Now that the poppy population in Afghanistan has decreased tremendously, here comes a new problem: marijuana. But looking deeper, this isn’t really the fault of the country’s people. Considering most of them struggle just to make ends-meat, it’s quite understandable how they resort to growing and selling drugs. The cost of replanting their crops with something more on the lines of food along with the resale price of it, thereafter, just makes it infeasible. What the government (with foreign help) need to do, is not just curve the growth of drugs by going to farms and destroying the plants, but provide an actual replacement to growing these illegal substances so it permanently stops.
